Cairns Queensland Holiday Adventures

A view from the Kuranda SkyrailImage via WikipediaWelcome to my video blog post "Cairns Queensland Holiday Adventures"
Below I have added some videos and links to articles to help you plan your next vacation up in northern Queensland paradise we call Cairns!
Cairns Day 3 - Behind The Scenes - Skyrail
A day in Cairns, Queensland, Australia on the Skyrail.



Skyrail & Tjapukai


Skyrail CairnsVoted Australia’s best major tourist attraction for three years in a row, Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is one of the most special and unique rainforest experiences in the world. They’re both favourites of ours too!

Skyrail’s Cairns departure terminal is in Smithfield, 15-minutes drive north from Vision Cairns Esplanade Apartments. The 7.5km Skyrail rainforest cableway travels between Cairns and Kuranda showcasing panoramic views of World Heritage-Listed Wet Tropics rainforest, and the Coral Sea. You can leave your Gondola at two mid-stations to see the mighty Barron Falls and learn more about the rainforest from the forest floor. We recommend you travel to Kuranda on the Kuranda Scenic Rail and return to Cairns on Skyrail because the views are better on the way down.

Tjapukai Aboriginal Culture CairnsNext door to Skyrail’s Smithfield terminal is Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park. Far North Queensland is rich with Indigenous Australian culture and history and a visit to Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park is an excellent way to meet some of these fascinating people and experience a taste of their incredible culture through bush medicine and food demonstrations, dancing, storytelling and performance.

Cairns Rainforest That Meets The Sea


Once you are up in northern Queensland you just have to go to Cape Tribulation and see where the rainforest meets the sea.
This place is truly spectacular, as you will see in the video below by Australian Geographic!

Diving The Great Barrier Reef

Diving The Great Barrier Reef is an incredible experience! Actually the reef is so large you could never dive all over it in even a lifetime!
